1 Heart rate traffic light
Independent from the selected training, you can display the current heart rate zone
with the heart rate traffic light function. The heart rate traffic light function will change
the colour of the training screen depending on the heart rate zone. This way, you can instantly
see the heart rate zone you're in. The zones are colour coded as follows:
Heart rate zone
heart rate zone 5 – red
heart rate zone 4 – orange intense stamina
heart rate zone 3 – yellow stamina
heart rate zone 2 – green
heart rate zone 1 – blue
Train in the heart rate zone which is most effective for your personal training objective. Kettler rec-
ommends training in the green heart rate zone for fat burning and training in the yellow zone for
improving stamina. Performance oriented athletes use the entire bandwidth of heart rate zones
for an optimised training within their training plan.
Note: On delivery, the heart rate traffic light is activated. The maximum heart rate as start
value of the heart rate zone determination is calculated according to the equation: Maximum
heart rate = 220 – age. If you have determined individual heart rate ranges, e.g. within the
scope of a performance diagnostics, you can enter them precise to one rate into the computer.
You will find this function in Personal settings > Heart rate settings. If you prefer, you can disa­
ble the heart rate traffic light here.
2 Heart rate based training (HRC training)
For the heart rate based training, you will set a target heart rate or
a heart rate progress curve for your training. The KETTlER training
equipment will control the braking resistance in a way that you will reach and keep the current
set value. Training in the desired target heart rate range will become extra comfortable with this
feature. heart rate based trainings include:
1. The training session '30 min. fatburn' (flame icon) for the target heart rate in the green fat
burning range.
2. The training session '30 min. fitness# (apple icon) which is regulated to the yellow stamina range.
3. all pre-set trainings with the heart icon.
In addition, you can create further training sessions in the training configurator. The latter function
is described in detail in the chapter "Training configurator".
Note: When starting the heart rate based training, the program will start on a pre­defined
WATT value. Depending on the personal fitness level, the target heart rate will be reached too
fast or too slowly. In this case, you can change the start watt value in User menu > Personal
settings > Heart rate settings > HRC start level.
Constant heart rate measurement is required for heart rate based training. The best measurement
quality and consistency is hart rate monitoring via chest strap. Therefore, KETTlER recommends
to use a chest strap for all heart rate based trainings. as an alternative to the chest strap, moni-
toring via the hand heart rate sensors is possible. These sensors can be attached in the desired
gripping position on the right and left of the handlebar. always grip both sensors with normal
force. as soon as the heart rate monitoring is active, the heart next to the heart rate display will
flash. Please note that this measurement method can be impaired by movement, sweat or friction.
If there is no heart rate signal during the heart rate based training, the braking resistance will be
reduced to the minimum setting.
